Guide to the invalidation of wudu' by the passage of wind

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. The jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) mention that the passage of wind is a known matter, and this is due to transformation. Is there any evidence other than transformation, and what is the correct ruling regarding the passage of wind?

Answer:
It is based on analogy with excrement. Since excrement is transformed from food, it becomes a place of excretion, and both are expelled from the body. Excrement and the passage of wind are both expelled from the body and the stomach. Therefore, it falls under the category of analogy, specifically analogy with excrement. Yes, and this is the correct view. The correct view is that the passage of wind invalidates wudu'. Likewise, if a person intentionally speaks while he is speaking, his statement is accepted. However, if he did not intend it, and the wind passed without fasting, this does not affect the fast. Yes. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
